when i used to watch them roll in and out of Turner Field to pick up HMX, the R/W was 6000' and they seemed to stop w/ about half of the R/W remaining.

I saw a demo at the McChord AFB airshow. Blew away every demo except the Canadian solo CF-18. The C-17 [obviously empty] did a max power short takeoff that while I certainly exagerate, appeared to be airborne in about 6 aircraft lengths. Literally got airborne clawing its way intot the sky, did a 45 degree bank angle mid field right over me and my son and journeyed around for a min-length landing. Max break landing did not appear realistic for such a beast. Screamed to a stop and proceeded to back up the same length of the landing with max thrust reversers.
Out came the 5x7 foot american flags and the crowd went wild.
Freaking amazing!

Ur wrong. It was wine (actually sparkling kinda lika champagne) and then I've opened my 1st bottle of beer which I am sucking till now. I am a very slow drinker but I can stand a lot of alcohol. My girls is sleeping in my bed. It could have been three hours now. You know, I need some rest, too...
